Reader's note

Heard of Penguin Specials? This is a rare 1940 first edition of Flight to Victory by Ronald Walker. This book is an account of the R.A.F.'s first year of the War. Chapter 1 begins: ‘One man had a vision of the future He was Colonel J.E. Capper, one time superintendent of the British Government factory for the manufacture of military balloons. Lecturing to the United Service Institution in 1906 he said, "There is another and far more important phase of aerial locomotion which in near future may probably have to be reckoned with... In a few years we may expect to see men moving swiftly through the air on simple surfaces, just as a gliding bird moves...' How right they were!
